$1,000,000 from the General Fund to the Superintendent of Public
Instruction for allocation to school districts and county offices of
education to fund the acquisition of school library materials.  These
funds would be applied toward the minimum funding requirements for
school districts and community college districts imposed by Section 8
of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
   Appropriation:  yes.

attendance, to school districts and county offices of education to
fund the acquisition of school library materials pursuant to Article
